Shawn & Eva's Union

I've just come back from one of the sweetest weddings. :)


Shawn & Eva

Shawn & Eva finally tied the knot yesterday. They had their registration at the garden of Eva's parents' home. The garden was beautifully decorated with flower balls hanging, artistic coloured branches, fresh flowers; all created by Eva's cousin. All their family members, relatives and closest friends were present to witness their solemn declaration to the commitment to themselves to each other.


And our little angel was honoured to be their flower girl. And I must say this, I am so very proud of her as she did so well. No fuss at all.. just smiles all the way, as if also giving her best wishes to her Uncle Shawn & Aunty Eva. :)

The whole event yesterday started at about approximately 5:30pm. Everyone was excited and so happy for them that after the registration ceremony, everyone wanted a part of them so it was quite hard for us to even present them our wishes. But it was understandable. It's their big day and everyone were as overwhelmed by their union like us so we decided that we would catch up with them one on one later. We left a little earlier.

And tonight, they had their wedding reception at Concorde KL. Food was absolutely delicious. The crowd was cozy and we were sitted with some friends that we knew. The whole event went so smoothly! So much of humour, laughter and love! Both their dads gave noble yet relaxed speeches. The maid of honour, Ee Mei (who is Eva's sister), and the best man, Rizal (who is Shawn's best friend) gave us the most touching speeches which left us nearly in tears (actually come to think about it, I think just only me) and roaring with laughters. It was a perfect night. Listening to Shawn's speech of thanks after that and his serenade to Eva (he conned Eva to sit on a high chair on stage and sang the song 'What a difference a day makes' to her) made the wedding reception the sweetest moment... I think Eva was so moved so that she teared a little. It was really a heartwarming sight. :)

I'd say that the wedding was fun and well-planned. Like what Uncle Toh (Shawn's dad) said in his speech, the energy and vibes in the ballroom was great. All family members, relatives and friends cheered on Shawn & Eva's union and had fun themselves. :)

I am too blessed to be present in this event - Shawn & Eva's union. Being able to witness such wonderful moments has brought much more sweetness in my life. It also reminds me of my own wedding night with hubby - our union - our own experiences heading towards our union, our ups and down during our union, and our everpresent commitment to ourselves and each other still, in this union; alongside with the never changing and ever encouraging blessings from those around us.

Thank you, Shawn & Eva, for having us be part of this celebration. Hubby, Thea and I truly appreciate both your presence in our lives; for having you both in our lives have definitely enriched our experiences in life... :) Here's wishing you both all happiness, blissfulness, lots of right understandings, strength, courage and persistence and most importantly, unconditional love in your journey with each other.

May God shine goodness, light and love always upon you two always; for that is what you bring forth to others in your presence, by just being you... Love you both always. :)
